[PATCH v5 01/18] watchdog/perf: Define dummy watchdog_update_hrtimer_threshold() on correct config

The real watchdog_update_hrtimer_threshold() is defined in
kernel/watchdog_hld.c. That file is included if
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF and the function is defined in that
file if CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_CHECK_TIMESTAMP.

The dummy version of the function in "nmi.h" didn't get that quite
right. While this doesn't appear to be a huge deal, it's nice to make
it consistent.

It doesn't break builds because CHECK_TIMESTAMP is only defined by
x86 so others don't get a double definition, and x86 uses perf lockup
detector, so it gets the out of line version.
